Just finished "First-Time Caller" and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. While romance isn't usually my first pick, this book really won me over with its fantastic dialogue. The banter between characters feels genuine and often had me smiling as I read. What truly stands out are the side characters. They're so well-crafted and hilarious in their own right that they really elevate the whole story. 

The thing I appreciated most was how relatable everything felt. The situations and relationships struck me as authentic rather than the typical romance formula. The characters face realistic challenges and their connections develop in ways that made sense. Overall, I'm giving it 4.5 stars! It's a warm, engaging read that managed to impress someone who doesn't typically reach for romance novels. Definitely worth checking out!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
